I know I'm biased but I found this when looking around for exhausts:

Steady on old bean. I've seen what carbon addiction can do to MV
owners, & it isn't a pretty sight watching them delving around in old
bins looking for enough spare change for another fix.

Hehe.

"I can give up any time I want"

Actually, the above bike would look fucking awesome with some of these:

I saw some in a mag and just for a _moment_, I thought it would be do-
able.

Hubba-hubba!

 

Rule no.7
Don't waste lots of expensive goodies on streetbikes, you know it will
get trashed or stolen.

Anyway, Bear decreed that underseat exhausts are Hom excepting 996's, as
you very well know

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, 'Hog belched forth and ejected the following:

Good point.

That model, as you probably know, didn't come with underseat exhausts
from the factory but whatever you think of USE, that bike looks fucking
awesome (imho, of course)

I am in the market for a road/race can though and the only ones I've
seen that look halfway decent are the carbon variety.

I do actually like the look of the standard can so I might (but probably
won't) take a drill to the rivets and remove the baffle(s) that way.

 

I really like carbon wheels but I know I'd break them within a year
and after 6 months they'd be covered in chain lube and road grime so
it'd be pointless.

My addiction to anything made by Gilles Tooling took a turn for the
better today. One of my customers *gave* me a nearly new set of Gilles
Variobars with the 65mm risers, all 300 quids worth. All I have to find
now are the very natty chain adjusters they make and I've all I want.

 

LOL let me know when you are selling it

I've got to figure out how to get the handlebar tubes out of the risers,
because I want to use them direct into the clip-on section. The risers
are optional.

 

My carbon addiction looks pretty fucking good to me...

Pure carbon frame

 

I bet that was expensive. Is it my imagination or does the seat post
have a slight rearward kink in it?

I assume that is what you are going to be competing on?

 

Oh dear lord that's gorgeous.

How much does it weigh all in?
And how many pennies was it?

I think it's actually worth more than the GSXR... Need to collate the
receipts, actually, for the insurance.

Yes. Because the clamp for the saddle is directly in-line with the
post, they kink the post to put the saddle back in the right place.

Yes. For the marathons I wanted a full suspension bike for comfort,
but one that was very efficient. This has a clever inertial damper in
the rear shock that works out how bumpy the ground is and changes the
shock damping. Effectively it rides like a rigid bike on the road and
yet on bumpy ground you get 4 inches of suspension travel. Works
beautifully.

 

It is, isn't it? I keep stopping and staring at it whenever I go into
the garage.

In winter trim it's coming in at 26lbs. With summer tyres on and the
new pedals I'm about to buy, it'll be 24.5lb.

Heavy compared with road bikes, but bloody light for a full suspension
mountain bike.

If I wanted I could take off the hydraulic discs and run normal brakes
and save another pound. Personally, I prefer shit-hot brakes.

Lots. Total spend is somewhere in the region of 3.3k. Worth every
last penny though.

Is it a gas spring at the back?

Or "Nice so why can't they bung it in a motorbike"

One of those units would be dead handy for someone that crosses the
urban sprawl on a regular basis.

When I was in the bike shop the other day they had one of these in:

http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?sid=06BigHit

which is designed for doing stuff like this:

http://www.redbullrampage.com/action.php

It weighs in at nearly 50lbs and is pretty much a motorcross bike
without an engine.

In fact, it's probably got more suspension travel.

 

Air shocks front and rear.
